Walters used the word while reporting, as did Whoopi Goldberg, but Shepherd had a problem with the way Walters said it
On Monday’s episode of The View, tension struck co-hosts Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters, as Shepherd chastised the way Walters used the N-word.
The topic at hand was the hunting camp that Texas governor Rick Perry uses, but although Whoopi Goldberg also used the word, Goldberg had it out for the way Walters said it.
Goldberg said the word while quoting presidential candidate Herman Caine, and Walter used it afterwards in context of the first quote.
